The objective of this study was to develop a forage sorghum hybrid for the production of green matter to be used either fresh or for silage. The sorghum hybrid developed in these efforts (Siloking) is intended for multiple cutting, as the basal nodes produce buds and regrowth takes place. The performance of the new hybrid with respect to yield and quality was compared to that of the forage sorghum cultivar NS Dzin. In a two-year study conducted under different growing conditions in four locations, Siloking produced an average green matter yield of 86.29 t/ha (two cuts), a dry matter yield of 25.34 t/ha, and a crude protein content of 11.85%. Siloking outperformed NS Dzin in terms of yield and quality.
